You recognize that face. You remember where you met. But the name? It's right there, on the tip of your tongue. It happens to everyone. And as the years go by, it happens more often. It's not a flaw. Names are simply hard to hold on to, even for the sharpest minds. NameMemory helps you put names to faces: the people you already know, and the ones you are about to meet. WHERE IT HELPS ・A new class every term. Thirty students before week two. ・A new job, and fifty colleagues on your first day. ・Clients and contacts you meet once and see again months later. ・Neighbours, the club, the congregation, the parents at the school gate. ・A reunion next month, and half the names already gone. NO PHOTO REQUIRED Build a likeness from an avatar instead: hair, eyes, glasses, beard. Many schools and workplaces do not allow photos of students, residents or clients on a personal phone. With avatars, you never have to take one. HOW IT WORKS ・Add a name with a face, a place, an organisation and a few cue words ・Review at the moment you are about to forget (spaced repetition, SM-2) ・Quiz mode or type-the-name mode: a near miss is shown as a near miss ・Tag by class, team, club or event and review one group at a time STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE No account. No cloud. No sync. No tracking. Everything you enter stays in the app, on your phone. Free for up to 20 people. One-time purchase to remove the limit: no subscription.
